Ouch! Alaska Governor and Republican vice presidential
candidate Sarah Palin initially said she found Tina Fey’s impersonation of her
on “Saturday Night Live” last weekend “quite funny,” only to reveal now that
there was no sound.
Sarah Palin’s Tracey Schmitt told CBS News earlier this week
that the Republican vice presidential nominee was thoroughly amused with the
opening skit of “Saturday Night Live’s” season premiere.
Her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt said Palin found the show
“quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for
Halloween.” The governor watched the episode from the campaign plane, together
with the press corps, as it flew from Reno to Denver Saturday night.
A lot of people were apparently very amused with the skit,
featuring Tina Fey as Palin and Amy Poehler as Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton,
since the episode has now become the show’s most watched since 2002, when Al
Gore hosted.
Here we are a few days later though and Sarah Palin’s remarks
are not as amused – or amusing. The Alaska
governor told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that she did watch the “SNL” skit
which poked fun at her – but on mute, reports Reuters.
“I watched it with the volume all the way down,” Palin said.
“I thought it was hilarious.”
What exactly did she find hilarious? We aren’t sure, as she “didn’t
hear a word she [Fey] said but the visual (was) spot on.”
Palin next recollected that one time when she dressed up as
the former head writer of “SNL” for Halloween. “In fact, I dressed up as Tina
Fey once for Halloween. So we’ve been doing that before Tina Fey has been doing
that.”
